Want a 2014 Macbook Air with a $250 discount? Students only offer but all you need is an active ".edu" email address and there's a work around for that: just go here for a free .edu email address. Follow the directions on our deal page because you'll also need a unique code as well.

Latest model MacBook Air 13-inch is only $800 at Best Buy. This beats out all the other available deal on a rarely on sale model. Sure its not Broadwell but you know how Apple takes forever to update these things.

This ties the lowest price we've seen on the larger MacBook Air with 256GB SSD and beats the next best by $49. You save $99 off the Apple Store price. If you're looking for something with more speedy storage than the norm and want greater portability and higher resolution in your screen than a standard MacBook Pro, this is a great option. You don't get an optical drive, but when was the last time you used one?

Unlike PC laptops, Mac's tend to hold value over time. How much would a 2012 refurbished MacBook Air 13 go for you ask? Today it's dropped to $500 at Daily Steals. Lowest we've seen on this particular model by $150.

Michael TibiAug 03, 2016when the price was $649.99

Want a MacBook Air? This mid-2012 model isn't as powerful as the latest but should still get the job done in most cases. Today it's the cheapest we've seen it by $29.

Daniel BrasherApr 27, 2015when the price was $699.00

If you're not 100% married to the idea of having THE newest MacBook Air generation, consider this sub-$700 deal on the mid-2012 MacBook Air MD231LL/A. This is a repeat of a deal we saw a month ago, but that deal was the cheapest we'd seen this Air go for by $200.

Daniel BrasherMar 26, 2015when the price was $699.00

Best price ever on this 2012-era MacBook Air 13. If you don't need the absolute latest specs, this should do just fine.

Daniel BrasherMar 22, 2013when the price was $899.00

If you don't mind buying Apple Certified Refurbished, the base model MacBook Air is at the lowest price we've seen by $75. The Apple Store is selling this new for $1,199 ($300 more). Next best is $1,000 for new condition at Best Buy (linked on our deal page). This comes with a full one-year warranty from Apple, so you can be confident in your purchase.

New 2012 MacBook Air 11 & 13-inch

MacBook Air is widely considered to be THE BEST laptop for most people because of its sleek form, light weight, good battery life, and of course it gets some brownie points for style -- a look that other manufacturers try to copy.

The new 2012 MacBook Air models came out in June 2012. Don't buy them from Apple Store unless you need some very specific customization. If you just want the two basic configurations of either the MacBook Air 11 or MacBook Air 13, we'll always have cheaper prices than Apple Store from other authorized retailers.

Comes in 11 or 13-inch. Slim form factor with solid disk drive saves weight, space, and gives faster performance in hard drive speed than previous generations of MacBook Air

Decenter battery life - many people choose 13-inch for its longer battery life (it's bigger, so it can fit a bigger battery)

The standard configs sold at various retailers have 4GB RAM, which is plenty for most people. If you're a super power user you can get a customized model direct from Apple with upgraded RAM, but it will cost you a pretty penny -- $100 extra to get 8GB RAM, plus you'll have to pay full list price for the laptop at Apple Store (missing out on discounts from other retailers), AND you'll pay sales tax (whereas you can save sales tax from other retailers, depending on your state)

Finding Cheap MacBook Air Deals

Dealzon regularly scouts the web for MacBook Air prices, but generally we place them in when they appear and when we seek them (rather than seeking them out constantly). Because of this you may sometimes come across deals that haven't been updated in awhile. If the prices are outdated, please do let us know in the comments above. Otherwise, it just means there haven't really been any particular good deals on the MacBook Air.

If you truly want to save money, the older 2011 or 2010 generations of MBAs still pop up from time to time. They're usually refurbished, but every once in a while we spot a retailer with a limited stock of old models in brand new condition. They can be a great value if you just want a reliable laptop for basic day-to-day web tasks. They are much more regularly on sale through outlets, MacMall eBay deals, etc.

Check back often or set a "email price alert" for automatic notification whenever a MacBook Air goes on sale so you'll never miss out on a deal.

the Apple Black Friday Sale for MacBook Air laptops

Don't worry if you missed Apple Store's Black Friday sale that the entire internet was talking about. It wasn't that good. Apple has a tradition now of giving a $101 discount off the list prices of all their laptops for that Friday. Other retailers like Amazon matched their price, and then MacMall had an even lower price.

Over the past few months, we've seen both MacMall and Amazon have $99 discounts on all MacBook Air laptops. So that's only $2 different than the overhyped Apple Black Friday deals. And for people in most states, these everyday prices are actually a lower net cost if you don't pay sales tax to the other stores, while you have to pay sales tax pretty much everywhere if you buy from Apple Store directly.
